Pritesh Pattni

Pritesh has delivered sport as a volunteer for over 25 years, and has focused much of his effort in Badminton; and in particular supporting Bidgley Badminton Club.

England Badminton Regional Officer:

'Pritesh is committed to not only developing the sport but his community as well. He is hard working, and has many jobs and other voluntary roles however he still finds the time to manage Bidgley BC.'

Pritesh is always developing new ways of engaging underprivileged and diverse local communities in badminton. From extremely popular women and girls' sessions to most recently; driving a new disability club in the city centre, he is always searching to find ways to overcome the barriers that are associated with taking up new opportunities.

Pritesh works tirelessly to support his community, despite his business suffering several attacks during the recent riots in Birmingham; he is still finding the time and positive outlook on life to continue the work he is doing. CR
